Son Montuno

I posted a thread about this a while back. They couldn't pay the bills anymore. They had a very rough time for the past 3 years so they finally had to close. Quite simply people are not buying CDs much anymore.

Apparently, nowdays its digital or(and) vinyl. Not the CDs. For me its digital, but a lot of new releases goes exclusively on vinyl (first that comes on my mind - El Timba y Manuel La Palma). Well, latinwaymusic.it is still there....

I have to admit that I'm "part of the problem" here. I didnt know or remember about El Watusi, and since I buy digital these days, I would go to descarga to window shop, and then I would purchase from a site where I already have an account set up for purchasing digital.

So them closing is partly the fault of me and people like me. I used to buy CDs all the time but I stopped at some point. It was nice once I got comfortable with digital, to not worry anymore about package pilfering off my porch. Plus I get nervous having my cc out on too many different sites.
